The "Yes, I Love JimmyM" Thread

He sometimes posts reponses to my posts as I do to his.. great bass payer, great guy and great TBer.

I have tried to emulate him to the point of nearly being bannished.. I got merely a wrist slap over a a misunderstanding, which is why I sometimes post a disclaimer with some of my posts/ opinions..LOL...

I'll take a number, please...

[HEY Jimmy.. I got a call the other day from
' Rasslin 2' !!! ...He's in town visting from Hawaii and wanted to get my bosses number. We chatted briefly..then gave him bosses cell #]
 
He had a heart attack a couple of years ago during a fan fest.. I believe ...Nashville??

..LOL.. I saved the voicemail he initially left.
I called back.. he was staying at Randy Alls' place here.

He told me he's had a few minor strokes as well.

My boss has pics of him at his house from years back.. wearing a cowboy hat.. Without the mask.. you'd never know him..LOL..

Said his wife fell in love with Hawaii during a visit.. They decided to call it home..she passed away 10 years ago, he said.. but Hawaii is still 'their' home...sighs...

OK..EVERYONE..SIGNING OFF FOR THE WEEKEND..

New TB Bumper Sticker: "W.W.JM.DO??"
 
When I first joined talkbass a few months ago, I asked for some advice. JimmyM was one of the first guys to chime in and help me out. I believe he is the real deal even if he don't trim his toenails for months at a time!
:D
 
I can't even remember how many times I was firing off some brilliant and informative "seasoned" reply to some noob's question and realized, "wait, JimmyM just said this 4 posts ago...", and therefore, NOT posting ...
Plus I think he's my age and came up in the same golden days of bass....geezers gotta hang...
